وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا مَالَ الْیَتٖیمِ اِلَّا بِالَّتٖی هِیَ اَحْسَنُ حَتّٰى یَبْلُغَ اَشُدَّهُۚ وَاَوْفُوا الْكَیْلَ وَالْمٖیزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِۚ لَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا اِلَّا وُسْعَهَا وَاِذَا قُلْتُمْ فَاعْدِلُوا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۚ وَبِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ اَوْفُواؕ ذٰلِكُمْ وَصّٰیكُمْ بِهٖ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَۙ

Wala taqraboo mala alyateemi illa biallatee hiya ahsanu hatta yablugha ashuddahu waawfoo alkayla waalmeezana bialqisti la nukallifu nafsan illa wusAAaha waitha qultum faiAAdiloo walaw kana tha qurba wabiAAahdi Allahi awfoo thalikum wassakum bihi laAAallakum tathakkaroona

Translations

And do not approach the orphan's property except in a way that is best until he reaches maturity. And give full measure and weight in justice. We do not charge any soul except [with that within] its capacity. And when you testify, be just, even if [it concerns] a near relative. And the covenant of Allah fulfill. This has He instructed you that you may remember

Saheeh International

And approach not the wealth of the orphan save with that which is better, till he reach maturity. Give full measure and full weight, in justice. We task not any soul beyond its scope. And if ye give your word, do justice thereunto, even though it be (against) a kinsman; and fulfil the covenant of Allah. This He commandeth you that haply ye may remember
